How private is Gemini when it controls your apps?
To use agentic Gemini, you need to grant it deep access to your device. Google’s response to privacy concerns is to compartmentalize the agent. Since the AI runs in a virtual window, it’s theoretically isolated from the rest of the device, and the agent only sees what is happening within that specific session. However, the data generated during that session — what you order, where you go, and how much you spend — is still processed by Google’s servers. So if Google wants to, it can build an even more detailed profile of your daily life.
